On my 2nd solo xc... I have no idea what plane this is, but it's a beauty.

T-34?
 
A guy at FTG had one. I talked to him once while we were fueling at the self-serve. His primary complaint was maintenance cost.
 
Back in the 80s I think, Maxwell Aero Club had a T34-A for rent, real real cheap. Kick myself for not getting checked out in it.

I've heard complaints about the cockpit noise, I would like to fly one though.

That term is social unacceptable these days. Perceived color can be described by wavelength of reflected light if phrased in the third person. Alternatively the paint color code can be used. Pairing the words "it" and "is" with any descriptive term is a discouraged practice and perhaps will be illegal in the very near future.

So you're saying I can take a knee in front of a Gadsden flag, but I can't describe it to anyone? :)

You have freedom of expression as long as it can't be construed as possibly demeaning or upsetting by anyone, anywhere, at any time, present, past, or future. You have been advised.

Isn't the name Gadsden descriptive? So you could not even tell someone what flag it is. I already know what it is so therefore I am exempt from Clark's rule.

Needs work. Lots of work. Try something along the lines of: "Independent laboratory analysis of the reflected light using blah, blah, blah, results in the average response of blah, blah, blah, and using standard interpretive response patterns from studies conducted in the blah, blah, blah,..."

You get the drift?

You are wise. The local Zampolit has said similar things when he is home from duty. He has a very good job teaching the young military recruits the proper ways of our government.

He says because we are childless that it is likely that we haven’t picked up on the teachings well, probably because our children don’t tell us about them when they come home from school. He scolds us about our lack of proper respect for the electric car manufacturer named “Musk” or “Mush” or something like that, I think. He laughs when I say musk is a smell and usually not a good one. He is quite patient with us backward rural dwellers. His family lives in the city and he knows things. Very smart man.

He also says the Homeland needs the resources for more nuclear “wessels” as he calls them. He says the 25 nuclear carriers aren’t enough to adequately protect the Motherland and her allies who refuse to build any. We must sacrifice for our own protection.

He also says the stipend for pickup trucks and paving our roads is probably not going to make it into the new 5-year Plan. He says we rural dwellers are too wasteful and only those in D.C. know the best possible way to share the bounty the Motherland provides.

Perhaps he is right, we are just simple people. Our old pickup trucks shall continue to serve the greater good, as long as the government store has parts for them.

Tell me, how did you become so wise? Are you in training for Zampolit work or political appointment? If you serve well, have the promised you a Dacha as big as the one The Bernie has? It sure does look nice in the magazines.

I shall watch for your name in Pravda in the mornings when I read it, and I will toast to your success and good health if you are chosen to help lead the Homeland to greatness, Tovarisch!

Thank you for your wise words. I shall put in a good word for you with the Zampolit when I see him. He is a good man.
 
Back in the late 50's early 60's a military flying club I belonged to had a T-34. Real fun plane I went from a Champ to the T-34 easy peasy, it was that easy to fly.

Be very careful with this careless talk. Publish it not. You do not want to bring an examination upon yourself.

That's the truth. Unfortunately as much as I love my A20s, they don't do anything in a Mustang. A set of passive DCs with an aftermarket noise cancelling upgrade worked a lot better.
 
I managed to get almost 60 hours in Navy flying club T-34s before the wing spar AD issue grounded most of them for an extended period. After that, I've never had an opportunity to fly them again. Not exceptionally fast. But, still kinda fun to fly for the wow factor.
 
I got to fly a T-34 back when Davis Monthan had one in it's Aero Club. Fun and easy to fly but not cheap.
